Re: gmail

in reply to Gmail

This is some very nice work. A few notes:

You don't refer to the package name consistently in the docs. Or rather, you do, but you consistently refer to it as "gmail" (all lc) rather than "Gmail".
When formatted via perldoc or similar, the formatting of the same code is a little wacky. Not sure why this is... the code seems to display OK in my browser, but maybe you are using tabs rather than more conventional 4-space indenting?
When fetching message info, Gmail is apparently escaping the < and > characters. You might want to look at those strings when you get the data back and clean them up a bit, just as an ease to users.

Again, nice work!

I have a unhealthy liking for tabs that I suppose releasing code publically should break me of. In the new version, I have replaced all tabs with 4 spaces Fixed all documentation that called the module gmail instead of Gmail (or even Mail::Webmail::Gmail) Data will now be returned unencoded. Thanks for all of your pointers! Its things like this that often get over-looked. Hopefully I will get the new version up sometime today.	[reply]

Hmmm... have you seen WWW::Gmail? I just saw it in the daily mailing from use.perl. I'm not sure I'd put a Gmail module in the WWW namespace; the service may in fact be web-based, but they've gone to some effort in their interface to abstract that. I think Mail::Gmail would ultimately be a better place... `--rjray`	[reply]
